Original Adams 15mm Swirl Killer Brushes
K5/TBSS posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Does anyone know where I can find replacement brushes for the original 15mm swirl killer? This is the polisher that does NOT have the two panels to that you can remove to service the brushes. I have asked Adam's and they don't carry them anymore. They sent me replacements but they are for the new swirl killer and are too large. In the pic you can see the original (worn) on the left and the new one (that's too large) on the right. Hoping someone may have an original and that they don't need. as a spare set. Thanks in advance! -
Hello all! Long time member, seldom poster! But I do have a question: I’ve been using the foam cannon with a 1800 psi pressure washer for the last 5+ years with tremendous results. Very very thick foam, great for little to no swirls. Recently though, I bought a new power washer, that is 3100 psi, and the amount of foam produced has gone down drastically. Is this from the additional pressure? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I’ve got the “knob” on the foamer turned up all the way, with no improvements. I’ve tried using a heavier soap mixture, also with no noticeable improvements... Attached are pics showing the old foam results compared to the latest. If you have any tips, please let me know! Thanks!

Adam's new video on how to clean wheels & tires addresses this. -
True. Larry the Cable guy. (Can't find the pic right now). The next person is hosting a Fourth of July party.

Any article on this? (ZR1) I thought I read that they'll only be coming out with a C7 Z06 that will have better numbers than the previous gen. ZR1.

Welcome from KS. So do you have a 5th gen Camaro, or are you just a member of said forum?

What would you use to clean this?

Yeah, when he bought his he was contemplating between AWS and the bucket, but we have way more trees than we do reasons to need a bucket, so that made the decision! Ha - and really, it's not nearly as squirrelly as you think it'd be, he can still lay a nice straight mowing line. Good looking mower! -

Yes, Kooks long tube headers. From what I've read, the driver's side goes in easier from the bottom, but the passenger side can either go in from the bottom or the top... I guess we will see.. I'm a little nervous about it.. :/

Thank You Dylan, Good Luck on your Next Adventure!
K5/TBSS replied to Adam's topic in Company Info/Announcements
As many of the others have said... I got hooked on Adam's Polishes through Dylan, probably without his knowledge. His perfected black TBSS was a rolling advertisement, and I had to try it out... Good luck in your future endeavors, Dylan. I'm sure you'll do great, wherever life leads you. -
Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll go the "tape" route, as it is something I have in house lol. Anybody ever have trouble removing the adhesive from the paint afterwards though?

Agree on saving money... I have had limited experience with the flex, but my PC is more than capable of correcting GM clear coat. ESPECIALLY with the new microfiber pads.

Hey guys. I have a black '06 TBSS, and will be installing headers, plugs & wires, and new stall converter in the next few weeks. The problem is I just finished a paint correction a few weeks ago. How do you guys prevent scratches when working on cars like this? Do you use tons of Adam's tape? Saran wrap? I can't imagine anyone with perfect or near perfect paint uses those "fender" covers you see around... OR, do you just leave it bare and come back and do a correction on just the fenders afterwards? Thanks in advance!

My dad has got one quite similar... I think his is an early 2000's though, 425 with all wheel steer. Spec's on yours? -
Well if we're gonna do that... lol Freshly Adamized.
